Since we're on the subject, am I the only one who likes to soundtrack my noir and hardboiled reading?
I'm as interested in scores and soundtracks and musical themes to this genre as I am in the writing and the authors.
Chandler, Hammett and their ilk have inspired creative work in many other genres than writing. Music, film, radio, comics, comic strips, graphic novels, fine art, posters, design, automobile design to name only the more obvious.
